Question 1

How does the WiFi QR code work?

Accepted Answer

The QR code encodes a standard WIFI:T:WPA;S:NetworkName;P:Password;; string. When a phone camera scans it, the OS detects the WiFi credentials and offers to join the network automatically.

Question 2

Which security types are supported?

Accepted Answer

The generator supports WPA/WPA2, WEP and open (no-password) networks. Most modern routers use WPA — choose that unless you know your router is using WEP.

Question 3

Is my WiFi password sent to a server?

Accepted Answer

No. All QR generation happens entirely in your browser. Your network name and password never leave your device.

Question 4

Can I scan the QR code with any phone?

Accepted Answer

Yes. iOS 11+ and most Android 10+ phones recognize WiFi QR codes natively. Older devices may need a third-party scanner app that supports the WIFI: format.
